FIRE, EXPLOSION & RISK ASSESSMENT (FERA) FULL TOPIC ASSESSMENT TEMPLATE –
ASPECTS OF SAFETY CASE SUBMISSIONS AS INDICATED IN THE SUMMARY TABLE:
This document provides the Full Topic Assessment Template (FTAT) to be completed as a record of the assessment of the FERA
elements of a Safety Case submitted to the HSE under the “Offshore Installations (Offshore Safety Directive) (Safety Case etc.)
Regulations 2015”. Where reference is made to the “assessor” this refers to the assessor responsible for the Fire, Explosion & QRA
topics. This FTAT is to be completed by the topic assessors and embedded in the Topic Assessment Record that is attached to
COIN.
The FERA assessment has been carried out to the procedures laid out in the safety case assessment manual (SCHAM), to
assessment principles of offshore safety cases (APOSC), guidance for the topic assessment of the major accident hazard aspects
of safety cases (GASCET) and the fire, explosion and risk assessment topic guidance (PMTECH12) all current at the time the
assessor completed the FTAT.
Regulations 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 & 30 and Schedules 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 10
The Offshore installations (Offshore Safety Directive)( Safety Case etc.) Regulations 2015 (SCR2015) require that duty holders
wanting to operate in relevant waters must prepare, and have accepted, a safety case containing the particulars identified in those
regulations. In order to accept a safety case the competent authority must first satisfy itself that the safety case contains the
required information.

This template is the assessor’s record of their assessment of the case against the legal requirements of the fire, explosion & risk
assessment aspects contained in the safety case submitted under OSDR 2015. It identifies the specific regulations contained within
relevant statutory provisions such as OSD SCR2015, PFEER, MAR and HSMWR that relate to this topic and identifies what the CA
expects to find within a safety case to meet those requirements. This document complements the guidance produced to support the
regulations as well as existing topic sector guidance.
This template will form the complete record of the assessment process undertaken by the competent authority. It is proposed to
make these templates freely available to promote transparency and assist industry in drafting its submissions.
A non-acceptance issue (NAI) is a deficiency in the demonstration made for health, safety and environment within the safety case,
which, if not resolved, will prevent the case from being accepted under the relevant statutory provisions.
Non acceptance issues require formal communication with the operator to ensure they are dealt with in the appropriate manner
giving them every chance to address the deficiency. The operator will be given 14 calendar days to respond.
A clarification (CR) is an explanation provided to an inspector, by an operator, to allow them to be confident of their interpretation
of the demonstration provided within the safety case. Clarifications are carried out as part of the routine of assessment work and
should be raised with the operator swiftly and informally and by direct means of communication (by telephone / email) and would
normally expect a prompt response.
In complex cases the requirement for clarification can be pre-empted by setting up a meeting between the operator and relevant
topic specialists to facilitate discussion and understanding between the 2 parties before the case is submitted or in the very early
stages of the assessment.
Where any uncertainty relates to an area that has the potential to lead to a non-acceptance issue, a request for ‘clarification’ would
not be appropriate and the issue should be identified as a non-acceptance issue and raised immediately in the appropriate fashion.
